About me

I am a CCNA SECOPS certified engineer who entered the tech scene through the hair-raising vector of penetration testing. My hats include .

I've grown super involved in the Hackathon Hackers community with my free time, and have founded/directed several organizations. In the past few years, I've traveled the world to mentor hackers, compete at CTFs & Hackathons, and learn from fellow enthusiasts.

Cybersecurity

I practice offensive security in order to improve defense of computers, networks, software, data or information systems against viruses, worms, spyware, malware, intrusion detection, unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, and an ever increasing list of attacks by hackers acting as individuals or as part of organized crime or foreign governments.

Olympics 2020

I began playing badminton in 2004 at Bintang, and went on to train at Smash City and BBC3. I qualified for U15 Jr. Nationals, then started my high school badminton career as Varsity 1 BS for MHS in SCVAL of California Interscholastic CCS. I have also competed in many open tournaments at Flights C and D, in events: MD, MS, and XD. At Mission College, I helped train the Women's Intercollegiate team.
